Photos of Tuk Tuk on LPG Photos of LPG - Liquid Propane Gas powered Tuk Tuk here in Bangkok, Thailand. I think it is funny when the world uses English Acronyms and their language is very different.
How do you write LPG in Thai?
Most of the full size Taxis run on LPG in Thailand and now I learned many of the Tuk Tuks.

Andy your timing is impeccable !The Thai's are onto something. They realize pollution is not good for health and the King has quietly pushed for cleaner fuels and mass transit . Here is todays article in New York Times. Drilling Boom Revives Hopes for Natural Gas......NYTArticle Tools Sponsored ByBy CLIFFORD KRAUSSPublished: August 24, 2008HOUSTON — American natural gas production is rising at a clip not seen in half a century, pushing down prices of the fuel and reversing conventional wisdom that domestic gas fields were in irreversible decline.The new drilling boom uses advanced technology to release gas trapped in huge shale beds found throughout North America — gas long believed to be out of reach. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel, releasing less of the emissions that cause global warming than coal or oil.Rising production of natural gas has significant long-range implications for American consumers and businesses. A sustained increase in gas supplies over the next decade could slow the rise of utility bills, obviate the need to import gas and make energy-intensive industries more competitive.While the recent production increase is indisputable, not everyone is convinced the additional supplies can last for decades. “The jury is still out how big shale is going to be,” said Robert Ineson, a natural gas analyst at Cambridge Energy Research Associates, a consulting firm.Still, many people in the natural-gas industry believe a new era is at hand, and a rising chorus of Wall Street analysts and Congressional lawmakers supports that notion. Competition among companies for rights to the new gas has set off a frenzy....
I have seen two cow manure slurry type devices, one in Nepal and the other in India that use methane gas to cook. I truly belive this is a relevant form of energy, and easy to make, they are not harnessing the sewer gases.By the way, sewer gas in Thailand is a problem, smells bad when you get near a storm sewer.
